Disability Access Point DAP New 7.1.2025 Behavioral Health & Disability Services
What is a Disability Access Point?
A "Disability Access Points" or "DAPs" are local places that help people with disabilities, their families and their caregivers find the services and support they need, both short term and long term. They are a friendly first stop for finding helpful information and services.
There are 4 agencies designated as DAPs across 7 districts in Iowa. These agencies are part of Iowa's Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Network.
What Services are provided by DAPs?
DAPs help people with disabilities and their families find and use the services they need by providing the following services:
Information & Assistance: DAPs give people, their families, and caregivers important information to help them make informed choices about long-term services and supports (LTSS) by:
- Figuring out what the person needs.
- Making sure the person knows about services and opportunities.
- Connecting the person with local providers for the help they need (respite or home modifications).
Options Counseling: DAPs help people understand their pathways and set goals to make informed choices of their care. The person leads the process, and they can include family members or others they trust. This usuaully lasts about 90 days.
Non-Medicaid Short-Term Services and Support (STSS): These are temporary services that help people with disabilities live in their homes and communities and provide support to their families and caregivers.
Service Coordination for Non-Medicaid LTSS: This is a process where someone helps the person get and manage their LTSS. The person works with a coordinator to create a care plan, set goals, and choose services to meet those goals.
